Unusual island for Greece due to no cars, motorbikes allowed...
Unusual island for Greece due to no cars, motorbikes allowed—we loved it. (Donkeys and mules carry heavy loads) Small city of Idra totally walkable. Fantastic small restaurants there especially a block or so away from the port. Expect to pay more for water taxis to get to other parts of the island. Be sure to visit nearby cultural-art focused centers/museums. 2-3 days max unless you want quiet and privacy to write your novel or compose music. Clothing and souvenir shops are much more expensive than 10 islands we have visited over the years. No airport also keeps tourist # lower than other islands. We saw many families with young children, couples of all ages, and single travelers taking in the island’s beauty. There are no beautiful sandy beaches to enjoy, though. Mandraki, the one sandy beach had dull brown sand, super calm water and appeared to be “owned” by a 5-star resort. There were no signs that this beach was public. But you can go through the resort gate and buy something to eat or drink. It’s 2km NE of the port. The walking path is paved and has beautiful seaside views, including the large golden Apollo wind-spinner. Very romantic island.

This was a great place to visit in April for a quiet and relaxing vacation. There were plenty of tourist in the port area but we didn’t see many people in on the various walking trails on the island.
The beaches were small but beautiful. It was a little windy but the temperature was just right in the mid-day sun.
There were several topless bathers at the various beaches and few children.
The beaches have lots of slippery round rock near the shore so it is difficult to walk into the water. The water was clear and cool and the waves were mild.
I didn’t think much of the dining options in Hydra so we purchased fresh produce at the various grocers near the port.
The tap water is sourced from desalination plants so make sure to get plenty of bottled water (to drink) from the local grocery stores.
They really do utilize donkeys to carry heavy loads from the port. They often leave a mess on the walkways so make sure to watch your step.
The island has beautiful inland views and ocean views. The elevation change is mild so it is easy to take long walk through the various trails.
We had no trouble traveling to and from the island. The port is small so it is easy to find your ferry.
We loved our stay in Hydra. It was just the relaxing trip that we were seeking.

Fun island to explore. No cars allowed!
Fun island to explore. No cars allowed! We only had1 night there due to our itinerary, so this fit the bill due to close proximity to Athens. Had a great sunset dinner at Sunset Grill. Tour of the Lazaros Koundouriotis Mansion was awesome, as was home of artist Tetsis.

Hydra is a wonderful place for scenery-gazing and long quiet walks (soundtrack: goat bells, cocks crowing and the occasional donkey bray) - past the monasteries, to the peak of Mount Eros, or across and a scramble down to Limnioniza Beach which we had entirely to ourselves... Our two best meals were both at Techne, where the food is technically accomplished, harmonious and subtle. Jeff Koons' Apollo Wind Spinner at the Deste Project Space Slaughterhouse is a fun diversion on the road to Mandraki. And the many cats seem by and large in good health and well tended thanks to Hydra Ark.

Charming island in a 2 hour ferry ride from Piraeus. Lots of waterside cafes and other restaurants in the center. Nice easy walks along the water, or steeper hikes up the hillside. Many shops. A good place for relaxing.

What I liked the most is that there were no cars, you can go everywhere on foot, very picturesque, quite, the people are friendly and polite, the food was great a bit expensive in elegant restaurants though.
I would like to go again!
An extremely pleasant hotel in a quieter part of town but not too far away from the port.
I stayed for 4 nights and the owners, Jenny and Philis, along with their son, Nicolas, and the rest of the staff were only too pleased to oblige.
The breakfast each morning was outstanding in every way and set you up for the rest of the day. Extremely tasty home cooked food.
The presentation and cleanliness of this traditional hotel was superb.
I have no hesitation in recommending the Mistral Hotel in beautiful Hydra. You will not be disappointed.
Very helping hosts, told us everything about the island and offered some beaches to go and the best restaurants. Also, they checked us in a bit earlier. Comfortable and clean room, large bathroom (sleepers, soap, shampoo and shower gel provided). There's also some tea/coffee in your room and a big bottle of water in the fridge from the hotel. The location is just perfect, only 2 minutes walking from the port but not in a busy and loud street, all the restaurants and super markets are nearby. The first beach is about 7 minutes away.
The hotel is located in the port area. Our room had an awesome view of the port. There was also a rooftop area where we had breakfast. The breakfast was great and the view from there was amazing. I believe the rooftop area could be accessed during the day. We were only on Hydra overnight so we were not able take advantage of that. Next time we will definitely stay more than 1 night. The staff was also very helpful with beach and restaurant recommendations.
The small hotel is situated in a very quiet area but in center of Hydra. Hilda, the owner was very helpful, and gave us a lot of information about the island. We had a lovely, spacious suite with a balcony overlooking the busy street - donkeys doing their daily work. We enjoyed the lovely homemade breakfast each morning on the veranda. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. I would recommend it to stay at this hotel!!
Everything. We had an excellent experience in this fantastic hotel. The room was lovely, complete with a private terrace that offered a stunning view of the town. Despite being close to the harbour, the hotel's location was surprisingly quiet, allowing for a peaceful and relaxing stay. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of Hydra without compromising on comfort and tranquility.
This hotel represents the best of Hydra.
It is situated inside an historical building, perfectly renovated with an intimate service comparable with the one you can receive when you go in the best private house.
A special mention to breakfast that start early in the morning and finish at 13.00: this is what I define luxury service in a familiar ambience.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
This hotel is an institution, an old sponge factory turned into a hotel. No wonder it won a European Heritage Award 20 years ago. Some may judge some of the rooms a bit small or rudimentary, but that is part of the Bratsera adventure. I come here if there’s availability on all my Hydra visits. Friendly and competent staff. Excellent bteakfasts.
The accommodations are exceptional. The service was excellent. We were met at the ferry by our host. Our luggage was taken via donkey to the hotel, and we rode a water taxi. I love that the hotel is not right downtown. It’s more quiet. There is a lovely beach just down the road plus another one a bit further. The view is spectacular!
Lovely boutique hotel with amazing terrace on the port of Hydra! Julietta was an amazing receptionist in helping us sort out some unexpected changes and her colleague at breakfast (sorry forgot her name) was so friendly, that these 2 ladies made the extra plus for our stay !
It is a very beautiful hotel in a quiet street a few steps from the port. The room was very clean and speciuse facing the patio/garden. We recieved from the rsception a lot of useful information and it defenely made our trip to Hydra exciting we loved it .
Lovely small family hotel , easy to get to from the port, The family who run hotel were welcoming and told us where to visit on our trip. I loved the breakfast every morning, it was different every day and was always delicious .?
The location was very convenient to restaurants,stores and the port.
The donkeys in a line going down the hill in front of the hotel on the way to work was
one of the best parts of my stay
Overall quality of the premises and service quality of the staff. Ioanna at the reception, she is exceptional!
The 5star hotel at Hydra, such a tiny Island, can’t be better.
